Fiber optic lighting is too bright

This project shows you don't need fancy tools to transform a fiber optic lamp. Most of the time, swapping in a simple LED can make a huge difference. Older fiber optic lamps use a dim filament lamp or halogen lamp to light them up. They also often feature a spinning color disk to vary the light patterns, which does have the side effect of absorbing some o...
